cozyaromas Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I recently bought a mold, the mold has cavities in it that require me to make it one color while the rest of the mold is another. Do I color inside the cavity or do I color in another container and then pour into the cavity?? The cavity is kinda small, so I was wondering if I could use a pippette to pour my soap mixture into the cavity? Any help would be appreciated!!

Carrie Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I make very little MP but always mix color outside the mold. I have one of those flexible molds with the letters, I use a pippette to put the soap in and an embroidery needle to get the letters out.

cozyaromas Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Thanks Carrie for the advice, I was so worried that a pippette might not work or that the soap would dry out but if I work fast enough I should be okay.Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingbop Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I make only m & p, and colour it inside the mould. Use a syringe, you get used to it and you get faster. Spray with surgical spirits after, then wait an hour & add the second colour. Dont wait more than a few hours , sometimes it splits when you use the soap if you wait too long..... its easier if the soap is still a teeny bit warm. I don't understand how you can do it outside the mould and still get a neat job ....? Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I do 99% of my MP in a log mold.... the detailed molds drive me to the brink of insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
